If you prioritize excellent sound quality and are using them mainly for music and TV in a quiet environment, consider the AKG K712 Pro, but you'll need a dedicated amplifier to get the best experience. If you seek versatility, portability, and features like active noise cancelling for travel or workouts at a more affordable price, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC might be the better choice. Note, the AKG K712 Pro are high-fidelity headphones intended for critical listening, with an open design that doesn't isolate noise well, whereas the JLab Jbuds are more casual, with conveniences like wireless connectivity and built-in controls.

Michael | October 2013
"AKG has created a mini-masterpiece in my opinion. I enjoy this headphone a great deal and it will become my go-to reference headphone for the time being. She is slick, sexy, well-balanced, and crazy comfortable."
